Got this as well. Curious as to the details. Was it a range photo? Photo of the piece in the dorm? So many questions.

It sounds like theres lots of variability in sentiment on that force. You get ridiculed for not carrying by one, another arrests guy on felony charges...
If the guy was responsible and had a safe to guard against theft, I hope they take it easy on him (assuming his character and intent also pan out). If he's just some idiot w/ a Saturday night special in sock drawer then, well, should have read the student handbook and residence policies.
Definitely aren't allowed to carry. My understanding is that you are allowed to have a handgun locked up within your vehicle if you have a CHP (see below). Having one in your dorm room is, unfortunately for this guy, a whole other ball of wax.

He posted on social media so...
But did he post it in his room or at the range back home? Either way not real Freaking bright.
You mean like we all do here?
Are you posting crap that is obviously illegal and while you have limited rights to deny a property search?

If they only knew the stuff we had in our dorms back when.
One guy hung a deer outside his third floor window. Saw him bring it back to the dorm in the hood of his car. Next thing I know it's handing out his window. Another emptied a 20 round magazine at a train as it passed by his dorm. I may or may not have shot at a sign across a parking lot from my window.

No. And I don't know that he did either. Story only said they saw it on social media not where they saw it.
Edited to say at least the part of the story I saw.

If you post pictures of yourself committing a felony you won't be getting my sympathy either.You mean like we all do here?
I'm going to say that's what happened here otherwise they wouldn't have been able to "immediately take him into custody".
Ok so obviously he had a weapon on campus.(Illegal) The only question is what kind of social media post was made. He obviously broke the law either way and in a designated place he has chosen to give up his rights. After all the R.A. Has to inspect to make sure his room is clean not to mention the idiot keeping a gun in his room.

@J R Green . Didn't ask for your sympathy and don't need it. You implied he was not responsible because he posted on social media "just like we all do.
@Cowboy . You asked the question if he posted a picture at the range or in the dorm and then said either way he wasn't to bright. Have you ever posted pictures at the range?

Do you think he was a smart feller? And No I have never posted pics of myself at the range.

screw the deans at wayne state university and the MSP for backing them without even understanding the laws they've sworn to uphold or the oaths they took.

Yeah, campus carry laws are on my s**tlist for this state.
Yeah I don't disagree and but your stupid enough to do it don't freaking advertise it.
When my nephew, a junior at App State, bought a Sig Saint AR-15, I made sure both he and his dad knew it was a felony to have that on campus. We can store a handgun in our cars on campus because GRNC fought hard for this one. I was in the room when the bill was in committee. The chiefs of police for every one of the 13 campuses came to the hearing, sat in a row, and when one of them read a statement asking the legislators not to pass it, the other twelve stood shoulder to shoulder and stared the committee down. It was intimidating as hell, and I don't think the legislators appreciated it. The bill passed without a single Democrat vote, but that's why you have campus storage of handguns in cars today.
And we wonder why ...If they only knew the stuff we had in our dorms back when.

Just to clarify, and I am sure you didn't mean it this way, the price of his gun or the quality has Nothing to do with this. I help folks with inexpensive guns just like I do with ones with expensive guns. Hell...probably more...

I find it a bit ironic that you say there's variability on the force and then you say, if he's as nice guy, go easy on him, but if he's a jerk, throw the book at him.
And, did you say, Saturday Night Special?

from my understanding, the connotation is “illegal street gun”

well, since I’m not an officer of the law I can have whatever personal feeling about enforcing it that I want.
my logic here is that if it’s not zero tolerance, and there’s is a broad level of discretion I hope they consider the context. Or maybe they should just go full boogaloo for ya
Just a clarification to clear up @BatteryOaksBilly's comment, Saturday Night Specials are typically just inexpensive handguns (commonly used in crimes since they can be easily tossed without much financial loss). These include brands like Phoenix Arms, Jennings, Hi-Point, etc. Hell, one of my first guns was a Saturday Night Special because I couldn't afford much more as a grad student.
Edit: Also, given how scared people at UNC are of a statue, I highly doubt this guy is going to get any lenency.

Not here. We search high and low and spend our own money so that people with tight finances can have a gun that Works. We heavily tested and passed on the SCCY and Taurus Spectrum. $139 guns that Work. Cheap is good for some folks.
Again, see above.

Yeah, as a guy who would choose Glock over 1911 every time, certainly have no cost elitism. Thought the term specifically referred to cheap black market guns stolen from citizens and sold to criminals.

A whole lot of folks will talk trash about cheap guns but none who will stand in front of one and say "shoot me".
